Finished the Race

I have fought the good fight,I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.2 Timothy 4:7

And it feels...

AWESOME!!

These were taken at our Field Day and End-of-the-Year Party with our homeschooling group!! I have to admit that I have often questioned whether it was beneficial for us to be a part of a group that is so FAR from us???

Since January, I have tried to be more active, attending more field trips, group outings, meet-ups at parks, with this group! And I am soo happy to see that friendships have begun to blossom :) Such a sweet sight especially for my oldest!!

Field day was a great opportunity for my kids to mingle and work with other kids that they didn't previously know. And to listen and follow directions from other adults!! It was a great time.... soo much so that we all came home exhausted;)

And I hope to share soon what our summer "school" schedule/goals looks like;)

** I realize I have taken the verse "out of context". But I feel like homeschooling is part of us living out our calling and to be finished with another year is awesome!! We have persevered to the end and been faithful in our studies through another year! Just another of God's sweet blessings:)

You know, this is the second time I have seen that same verse taken, as you say, out of context. The words are beautiful, and I don't think anyone will find fault with you as you are not manipulating the words in a way to serve your own goals.

Both times they have moved me and made me go back into 2 Timothy, and I think that's a good, good thing.

The Crew

We are a young family with 4 little sweet blessings!! Together we are learning to love the Lord, each other, our extended family, friends and our neighbors!

Anna is 10 and is the best big sister around!! She works hard in home school enjoying math, science and history! During play she likes being Lydia and Chris' teacher as well as practicing the piano, riding her bike, and

Christopher is 8 and is the definition of "all boy"... dinosaurs, dirt, tools and weapons! He loves math and retains details from stories and history amazingly well. We love his drawings and stories,his fort building skills and his compassionate heart. Chris blogs about his drawings.

Lydia is feisty and mature at 7!! She's a princess tomboy... One minute she's sword fighting with her brother, the next minute she is making bracelets with her sister. Lydia loves reading! Her servant's heart and her contagious smile make her a joy! Lydia blogs about the pets at our house.

Nate is our busy 4 yr old!! He loves his siblings and tries to keep up with them!! He provides the entertainment and a lot of the distractions in our days. It's an exciting time watching him learn new things every moment. We all adore his funny statements and crazy antics!
